It was an excellent race in Germany - as good as we have seen in a long time.
It was great to see three riders all going for the win right to the flag and it surprised us all to see Dani Pedrosa finish so strongly and take victory. He has answered his critics who said he stayed away too long to recover from his broken collarbone and he even surprised himself.
He had been there or thereabouts all weekend but he was very solid in the race and thoroughly deserved the victory. Casey Stoner will be scratching his head though. He seems to be constantly struggling with tyre wear but his team-mates at Repsol Honda are getting on with it fine so he needs to have a look at what is going on inside his garage.
Being beaten by your team-mate is never good news and I can guarantee that Casey will also be angry with himself that he didn't ride a more defensive line into the last corner.
An incredible last lap from Jorge Lorenzo saw him make up so much time and get through to take second place. He called it a miracle.
